Obscure and without place or name,
She gloried in another's fame.
Poor, plain and humble in her dress,
She thrilled when beauty and success
And wealth passed by on pleasure bent;
They made earth seem bo opulent,
Yet none of quicker sympathy
When:need oreorrow came than she;, ,
And saVahe lived, and so she' died. T-
She woke as from a dream.
And wonderful the avenue
That stretched to her astonishedvlew!
And up-tho green'. ascending lawn
A palace caught the rays of dawn.
Then suddenly the silence stirred
With one' clear keynote 'of a bird;
A thousand answered, till ere long
Tho air was quivering bits of song;
She rose "and wandered forth; in awe
Amazed and moved by all Bhe saw. .
For, like so many souls who go
Away, from earth, she ,dld not know
The cori wEJUsovorecl.

With eager arms stretched forth to greet,
Game one she loved ad mourned in youth;

"All this," Love murmured, "la yqur own.'
And when she gazed with wondering eyes -And
questioned whence and where and why.
Love answered thus: "All Heaven la made
By thoughts on earth; your walls were laid
Year after year with purest gold;
The beauty of your mind behold
In this fair palace; aye, and more,
Walts farther on, so vaat your store. ,, -
I was not worthy when I died, S,
To take my place here ak your side; v'
I tolled through long and weary years

And through the love, you sent from earth

If love in humbler things exist

Dog's Long atoh Ended
Shep, the dog that haa waited In front
of the Daly bank In Anaconda, Mont.-,
Iz long year for bli master, Is dead.
He was run over by an automobile and
so etrloualy Injured that he was shot.
Six years ago Shep'a maitcf, a aheep

While Inside the man was stricken with
apoplexy, placed on a stretcher and token
to a hospital In an ambulance.
It did not look natural to Shep. but he
followed the arnDdlance to ' the hospital'
and waited outside for several days. The
master died a few hours after reaching
the hosplta.1. Shep saw. the funeral pro
reaIon, but.lt w4' unusual- and he still
VwalUd. Then he remembered that his
toaster had gon Into the bank the lost
time he had actually seen him, so he
went there and curled up on the front
steps and waited.
For months he would look up ex
pectantly every time some one came out
of the building,, but his hope began to
wane. In spite of this he kept o con
stant vigil oi)4 had' made the front of
the bank his' home for six years, only
leaving long enough to get something to
eat.
He grew old and deaf during his long
wait. Each year President B. J. Bow
man of the bank paid his tax to the city,
hUt he still waited for the h()p herder
who did not come out of tha bank. For
the last few mcnths Shep had been stif
fening with age so that It was on effort
for him to walk. One night a flying
automobile struck him and broke his

Dear Miss Fairfax: A few years ago
I met a young man and kemt fnmilnnv
with, him until about five months ago.
I would Hko to have him for a friend
again, not only because I llku him, but
also bocauso I want to help him and have
nau a graai naai ot innuence over him.
While he was keeping company with mo
he quit the use of tobacco, but now he
Is using It to tho fullest extremes. I ran
see that his health is falling from It every
day. and I want to help him out of tho
habit. Will you please tell me how I can
gain his friendship without showing htm
that ram too anxious? E. J. II.
Got him to call some evening and' tell
him frankly that you nre Interested In
his health and wellbelng as ono good
friend Is In .another's, and urge him to
give up the tobacco habit.
Thori, If he refuses, dlsmlits It and him
from your mind. He is a man grown, but

take care ot himself,

Thj."eold light" of the flref.-y and tjje
glow'worm bus piqued sj)d puzzled scien
tists nnd Inventors for o lonfftlmc They
huvp been able to produco light only
with a vast wasto
of annoying nnd
costly heat, but, nil
thn time, nnturo
lmH been showing
them .that It 1b pos
sible to. have light
with no heat,
Tho problem haa
not yet been truly
solved, nature's
mysterious Gordlan
knot has not been
undone, but, in an
Indirect way, the
production of "cold
llghV'--has been achieved, noriiewhnt In
I
d
cylinder only a fifth of nn Inch long and,
a. twpnty-flfth ot an Inch In diameter.
These, lllllputlan filaments concentrata
Lthelr light In a starrllko 'point, nnd many
advantages result from this. For In-,
stance, Wliiin placed at tho focus of a,
parabolic reflector ono pf theso points ot
light glvos far better rcsulta thon an
ordinary lamp, whose light Is not thus
concentrated, for thoro Is almost no wasU
of light, overy ray striking the curved
surface of tho reflector at the proper
nnglo With a smoll reflector a brilliant
and uniform Illumination may be pro
duccd upon a table,-or other Burfoce, and
there will bo no heating effects.
Ono of tho useful applications of thU
form of "cold light" Is In clnemato
grnphy, whoro tho absence ot heat re
moves all danger of Ignition of the cellu
loid J"llm. tn nany laboratory operations
light without heat Is also extremely Im
portant. HI should become very useful
Irf microscopic examinations, where art!-
tho manner In which Alexander dlsposod , flclat light Is needed. Tho absence of heat
df tho famous knot I. e., by cutting It.
It Is a Frenchman, Dr. M. Dusnau(l,
who Is the Invontor of a kind of "cold
light," from which great things are ex
pected. Ills' Invention Is based upon the fact
that when an electric lamp Is turned on
tlm light appears Instantly, but It takes
nn apprcciablo time for the lamp to be
come heated by tho absorption of the
obscure radiations.
Acting upon this hint, he mounts threo
electric lamps on a flat revolving disk
and then causes the disk to turn rapidly
so as to bring cuch lamp In succession to
a point of .contaot whero the electric
cuinuit flowa through it.
The contact lasts but a very small frac
tion of a second, but that Is sufficient to
cause tho mefalllo fjlument to flash out
Its light, liy revolving the dink at tho
rate of sixteen turns, per second the suc
cessive flashes are combined, on the prin
ciple of the, cinematograph. Into an ap
parently continuous beam of Unlit. The
oyo Js unable to perceive thn Interrup
tions, Iti fuct, with sixteen mtutlons per
second there oro forty-eight Interruptions
if tn light, nnd, for all practical pur
poses, It appears as u perfectly sternly
lieuin.
Hut thero la. no appreciable produptlon
of hent, because thorn la not time enough
for its dovtilopment during the brief con
tact,, since ouoli lump Is exposed to the
current for only u fraction of the tlmo
of revolution. Thus the beum of light
may continue to pour forth during as
long a time as may be desired without
producing any heating effects.
So much for the mere production of
"cold light." In order to make this light
mora economical' to produce than ordln-ary-tleutrlc
light, Dr. Dusaud employs tho
principle of "survoltage," which moaui
the, use of a ourrent that would be tdo
trong for tho lamp If It were employed
In the usual wn$ Such a current would
soon destroy the filament It continuously
pasted through It, but .when a series ot
lamp uro brought In succession to the
point of coutuot they can hour this, cur
rant for the brief Interval of exposure,
followed by a ' relatively long period of
rest. The gain oqmos from tho fact that
with, a higher voltage employed by Dr
'Dussaud the quntlty of electricity used
Is on'y one-quarter as great as that re
quired to produce the same amount of
light at u lower voltage In a continuously
Illuminated, lamp.
Then, lie hns Invented a new form of
filament, rolled up into little spirals
placed side b(, side to form a minute
prnvents tho cracking of glasses and tho
melting of balsam mountings.
An Interesting discovery of Dr. Dus-
saud's Is that when the human hand Is
oxposed Icloso ito the point ot the origin
of a beam of fold light tho flesh and
bones appear translucent, and of a light
roso .tint, while tha veins and arteries
are seen as dark blue-violet lines. Then
by tho u(v of ii spectroscope, the blood
can bo analyzed while It circulates In the
body. Hitherto such analysis could only
be performed upon blood removed from
its circulating vessels. Now, Boys Dr.
Dursaud, tho physician can observe tho
effects of his treatment by studying tho
blood of his patient as It flowa In hi
veins and arteries.

'Splendid, too, for whooping cough,
spasmodic croup and bronchitis. It
stimulates tho appetite and is slightly
laxative, which help's end a cough.
This makes more and better cough
